Genuine KitchenAid replacement part
This brush is sold individually, 2 are needed for the Mixers shown below
It is always best to replace both brushes, even if only one is worn. Worn brushes frequently are the cause behind a motor running poorly. Replacing brushes can fix a motor that’s operating intermittently. These brushes are keyed and will only go in one way to work correctly.

Does this fit my product?Questions & Answers for Stand Mixer Motor Brush
I need to replace the motor brushes on my mixer model K5-A. Do you carry the correct part and if so what is the part number I need to order? Thank you.

Hello Dr, Thank you for the question. We are sorry, we looked up the part and it is listed as No Longer Available/Discontinued. There are no part substitutions listed. Our suggestion here would be to call the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with a substitution for these part numbers and contact us back with the updated substitution number. We hope this helps!

Pulled out the old brushes and holder, sanded the armature to remove blackened area and installed the new brushes and holder. Plugged the mixer in and it ran smoothly like new.

Replaced brushes they only go in one way so watch how they come out, also use a large screwdriver that fits tight on caps to prevent damage

Only turned on occasionally, problem was obviously electrical and brushes were first accessible parts to inspect. Severe cupping at ends of magnet suggested excessive wear and immediate replacement

Most people would not try and repair this old mixer, but it was the first gift I gave my wife for our new home. We flooded in Harvey, and the mixer sat under 4 foot of water for 10 days. I cleaned it, dried it and it ran, but I could tell it needed attention. I put all new electrical parts inside and it runs, but I need to set the speed and switch positions. Balancing the settings is the hardest part of the rebuild.
thanks,
Craig
